which I chose the theme of'A Walk In The Garden'.
I don't know about you, but I love to garden just about
as much as I do paper crafting.
I find so much beauty in both!
So, we would love to see your interpretation of
gardening, be it flowers, butterflies, bees or even veggies,
whatever 'your' idea of gardening is!

Hi!I’m Darlene Pavlick from Akron, Ohio, USA.My husband, Mark & I are originally from Pittsburgh, PA and that is where our families reside.We have one daughter who is married with two children, Morgan (24) and Jonathan (19) and has her own accounting business.She is the one who got me started in paper crafting more than 12 years ago.To make a long story short, once she introduced me to scrapbooking/card making, I’ve been paper crafting every day since.It is my passion and mental therapy! I am retired, have the basement of our home set up as my ‘crafting cave’ and spend lots of time there spreading my creative wings! I’ve been blessed to meet so many wonderfully talented people from around the world through this craft and many have become personal friends! I am thrilled to be one of the newest Fussy and Fancy Girls! http://www.darscraftycreations.blogspot.com/

I am actually on holiday and this computer here is
giving me a horrible time downloading pictures.
After sitting here for too long, I have finally decided
to just announce the winners and I can add the lovely
pictures next week when I am back home.
I am really sorry and I appreciate your patience!﻿

********And now for my Top 5 picks!

Hi! My name is Nataša or Narobe hiša – Nataša P. I
come from a land that's pretty small but has everything (mountains, lots of
forest, clean water in rivers and sea) – it's a fairyland called Slovenia. I'm
36 years old and I have a beautiful 7 year old son, he is a light in my
life and also amazing and I have an understanding husband that overlooks all
the »craft mess« I create.

I have been crafting for as long as I can
remember. But I started card making about 10 years ago,

and started blogging a year ago.

Crafting is like a big hug for my soul – a gentle
touch that I need… to relax,

to fill my lungs with positive energy.

I love the crafting world, because I can learn
something new every day and it also gets me connected to many interesting,
funny and creative people all over the world.

I am very pleased to be
the Featured Guest Designer at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge this week.

Many thanks to Sheryl
and the DTs!

Here is the fabulous explosion box that Nataša has created!

Oh my goodness Nataša, this is such a
special treat for whoever
receives this beautiful surprise explosion box!
I love the pretty flowers, lady bugs
and the lovely lacy doily embellishments!
Your wonderful description of Slovenia makes me want to visit there!
And I'm sure that a lot of us paper crafters
share your feelings
about how very relaxing and fulfilling it is for us!
